Story of the Kaiser.

The Emperor displayed great interest
in the working of the steam hammer, and
Herr krupp took the opportunity of
speaking in high praises of the workman

Alderman has sure eye, be said, and
can stop the falling hammer at any mo-

anvil without. fear, and he would stop
the hammer within q hairs breath Of
it.
Let Us try, said the Emperor, but not

he laid it, a splendid speciment of work

and Alderman, with his hand on the lever

the watch. When he went to hand il back

The workman embarrassed, stood with

CULTIvATING PEACH TREES.

Much of the injury done to peach trees
by freezing during the winter, says The
Live Stock Record is due to alate growth.
The trees do not have sufficient time to
ripen and harden the wood, and in con-
sequence the vitality of the tree is jured.
For this reason it is good plan to re-
move the mulch from the trees that have
been mulched during the summer. New
ly set trees, or when they are growing in
a sandy soil, or on the side of a hill where
the soil dries out rapidly, are benefited
by mulching, and it can be done profit
ably. Whe re this is the case, removing
the mulch will often stop or at least re-
tard the growth so that the trees will be-
gin to harden the growth already made.
The same applies to cultivation. Late
cultivation induces a late growth, and
where, as is sometimes the case, the Guilt
Walton is continued through this month
or even to the middle of next. If the
seeds make growth after the cultivation
is stopped the best plan is to NOW them
down. Weeds should not be allowed to
60 to seed, even in the orchard. Don't
cultivate late enough to induce a late
growth of wood. Late manurIng should
be avoided, especially of fresh coarse
manure. Sometimes it may be necessary
to cut back portion of the new growth
In order to give the trees a better oppor-
tunlty to harden the new growth suf
fciently to withstand winter weather. If
it can get thoroughly ripened before a
hard freeze the chances are much better
not only for the tree, but also for the
fruit.

What a Wife Ought to Know.

Very few men have the time or the pa
thence to make shilling GO as far as it
can: but, says the author of John Halifax,
women have. Especially woman whose
one thought is to save her husband from
having burdens greater than he can bear
to help him by that quiet carefulness in
money matters which alone gives an easy
mind and real enjoyment of life; to
take care of the pennies, in short, that
he may have the pounds free for all his
lawful deeds and, lawful pleasures, too.
Surely there can be no sharper pang
to loving wife than to see her husband
staggering under the weight of family
life; worked almost to death in order to
"the wolf at tho door,; joyless in the
present, terrified at the future; and yet
all this might have been averted if the
wife had only known the value and use
of money, and been able to keep what
her husband earned, "to cut her coat &C
cording to her CLOTH" for any income is
'limited" unless you can teach yourself
70 live within it, to "waste not" and
therefore to ''want not" But this is not
always the woman's fault. Many men in
sist blindly on style OF living which
their means will not allow; and many a
wife has been cruelty blamed for living
at a rate of expenditure uuwarranted by
her husbands means, and which his
pecuniary condition made absolutely dis
honest, had she known it. But she did
not know it, he being too careless or too
cowardly TO tell and she had not the
sense to inquire or to find out.
Every mistress of household, especi-
ally every mother, ought to find out what
the family income is and where it comes
from, and thereby prevent all needless
extravaganza. Half the miserable or dis
graceful bankruptcies never would happen
if the wives had the sense and courage
to stand firm and insist on knowing
enough about the family income
to e1pend 1t proportionately; to restrain,
as every wife should, q too-lavish husband
or, failing that, to stop herself out of all
Injuries which she cannot righteously af
ford. Above all, to bring up her children
in tender carefulness that refuses to
mulct "the governor" out of one unnec-
cessary half penny, or to waste the money
he works so nard for in their own thought
less amusement.

POLLUTING STREAMS.

The supreme court of Maine has de-
cided that the right to polute stream
may be acquired by prescription Where
one has acquired a right to use a natural
stream as a covered drain, that right is
not taken away, though it may be cur
tailed, by the act of the municipal auth
critics in diverting the drain. The bur
dens or inconvenience of the owner
through whose land the drain runs can
not be increased by any diversion or
change; and the prescriptive right is to
be exercised only so far as it will not af
feet more injuriously the owner of the
servient estate. The abuse of a pre-
scriptive right does not create forfeit
ure of the right. A person aggrieved by
such abuse may sue for damages; or pro-
coed by Indictment; or-the most fitting
remedy-move in equity for an ipjunc-
ton. Aggrieved persons would not be
justified in entirely cutting off drain
which the encroaching party had some
right to use; and an attempt to do SO is
restrainable by injunction.

RAISING HORSE -RADIsH.

market gardener writes: This use
full plant suffers from being able to eI-
ist without any cultivation. When once
it gets established IL is difficult to eradi-
cate. Conseq uentiy it is left in an out
of-the-way corner for long period. Al
though one can be sure of finding some
pieces fit for use, even under these con-
dltions they are very different to what
may be had with little trouble if it is cul-
tivated like any other vegetable, and
each plant is kept distinct from it's
neighbor. As market crop l feel sure
that good deal of land nov lying waste
might be profitably turned to account by
growing horse radish in quantity, as
there is demand all the year round for
it. In the winter it may be kept for
months after being lifted by packing it
in sand or any other moist substance to
keep it from shriveling by exposure. 1t
is in private gardens that / would plead
for a little more attention being paid to
this useful article. There are many ways
of growing good horse radish, such as
from crowns, which is largely practiced.
Where old beds already exist l have
found it an excellent plan to trench up
portion each winter as soon as growth
ceases, and from even small piece
great number of long, straight young
sticks, with crowns and roots entire, may
be selected. Although they are useless at
the time, they make splendid sticks If
put out in good soil for one year. Trim
of all side growths and make a large
hole with crowbar, drop them in at full
length at one foot apart in the rows, and
two feet from row to row, and the next
winter yoC will have horse radish very
different from the old crowded bed plan.

Being very successful this season In Sc
curing an excellent quality of butter in

ing your readers how it has been accom-
plIshed. The early spring and summer
grasses of pasture land in any part of
our country will secure the most perfect
favor to butter possible for that locality;
of course there is q great difference in
different sections of the United States on
this account. But as soon as the grass
fails in summer from drought or other
causes we have supply of fodder corn
and give our COWS feed of this once or

feed bran or middlings to keep up q con-
tinlous dow of milk and also of good
